Institutional & Corporate Banking at IFB Bank
Discretion. Structure. Global Reach.
At IFB Bank, we do not offer generic banking. We provide bespoke, legally precise, and strategically aligned financial solutions to legal entities operating across a multitude of industries, jurisdictions, and governance models. Our clients include corporate groups, regulated funds, foundations, family offices, trustees, and special purpose vehicles (SPVs) — all of whom demand not only technical competence but also legal finesse and transactional integrity.
Our services are built around the principle of trusted execution in a controlled environment, with particular emphasis on compliance reliability, cross-border flexibility, and the modular design of complex financial architectures.
Our Banking Solutions for Legal Entities
1. Corporate and Institutional Accounts
We offer multi-tiered account structures to support operational, treasury, and custodial needs. Features include:
- Multi-currency accounts with SWIFT and other capabilities
- Segregated sub-accounts for client money or fund administration
- Tailored KYC pathways for holding companies, fund vehicles, and fiduciary entities
- Embedded compliance documentation support, including UBO declarations, fund structure overviews, and regulatory classification (e.g. AIF, UCITS, RAIF)
Our compliance and legal onboarding teams are trained to assess complex legal setups with efficiency and discretion, including multi-jurisdictional ownership chains and trust-based holdings.
2. Cash Management, Treasury & Cross-Border Payments
We provide real-time and high-value payment processing through a variety of institutional channels:
- SWIFT GPI, SEPA Instant, RTGS, RTP, and internal book transfers
- Customised transaction monitoring and reporting dashboards
- FX spot, forward, and swap arrangements upon request

Legal entities with frequent international payment needs benefit from our tailored liquidity frameworks and pre-approved transaction corridors, reducing execution risk and enhancing predictability.
3. Trade Execution, Settlement & Escrow Services
We facilitate regulated and over-the-counter (OTC) trades, with or without collateral, for institutional and project-based clients. Our services include:
- Delivery versus Payment (DvP) and Payment versus Payment (PvP) settlement protocols
- Escrow account frameworks with third-party authentication
- Legal holding structures for asset-backed transactions, including precious metals, private equity shares, and IP rights

All escrow or settlement arrangements are governed by institutionally vetted agreements and supervised by our internal legal team.
4. Fiduciary and SPV Banking
We serve a wide range of structures including:
- Trusts, Foundations, and Family Offices
- SPVs for securitisation, asset pooling, and structured finance
- Holding companies with multi-layered ownership or tax-neutral domiciles
We understand the sensitivities of fiduciary operations and provide secure, legally shielded accounts for the administration of third-party interests, backed by audit trails and integrated compliance support.
5. Fund Vehicles & Custodial Integration
For regulated or private investment vehicles, IFB Bank offers tailored custodial and administrative services. These include:
- Custody accounts for segregated fund assets
- NAV-linked liquidity management
- Independent account verification for fund auditors and regulators
- Modular banking integration for RAIF, SICAV, SIF, and bespoke fund models
We work closely with fund administrators, auditors, and management companies to align fund flows with both legal obligations and investor transparency requirements.
6. Structured Finance & Capital Formation
Our banking infrastructure supports entities involved in capital raising, securitisation, or structured issuance. Services include:
- Account frameworks for bond issuances, private placements, and convertible instruments
- Project-specific accounts for infrastructure, energy, and cross-border trade initiatives
- Safekeeping Receipt (SKR) recognition subject to compliance, with related monetisation architecture
- Support for asset-backed or revenue-linked notes, hybrid instruments, and trust certificate issuance
Legal documentation is reviewed internally and harmonised with our settlement and custody platforms to ensure continuity and enforceability.

- Single point of contact for ongoing operations
- Responsiveness in the event of urgent fund movement or third-party coordination
- Discretion and alignment across confidential mandates
